What type of deficiencies did you see? Any pics you could show? Just curious, no big deal if you can't/don't want to.
If you read whole thread he said, they were falling way behind his other plants, fertilizered with his normal nutes (which I believe is GH) during flower. So he went back to what he knew works. It kept up just fine in veg, just not flower.

-I did read the whole thread, months and months ago. I do not memorize entire threads.
-Also, my question was directed at @smokebros, not Renfro.
-If you read my post properly...

So these were taken on 7/7/2020. i moved them in smaller than usual because i wanted to do some things in my veg room and wanted these out of the way. They are OCDxM15 (caps cut).

Looking good as always Ren, how much do plants that size drink and how often?
Right now they are getting 1.67 gallons every 24 - 25 hours in the rows. Watering based on moisture meter so they only get it when they are ready. When they first moved in they needed water about every 2.5 days. The oddballs that aren't under a light get it every other watering.

So my old platter style kWh meter for my grows 125 amp sub panel decided it had enough lol. So i replaced it with a digital meter for each phase. This is a definite upgrade since i can see how well my loads are balanced. The image was taken with the veg room off and room B running. I like it!

I suppose that loads running on 240v the amps are displayed 2x since it reads on both phases. lol kWh totals would be valid since they are summed at 120 volts on each meter but when reading the amps on each phase some are phase to phase and some are phase to neutral, the phase to phase amps would show up on both meters.

What a clown.
Right? As to his ragging on my process for drying and lack of curing... One thing many don't know is that THCa degrades much quicker when moisture is present. For example, I had some left over flower (had missed a tray and left it for about 9 months lol. It was sitting in the hot dry room, very dry, like teens RH%. The aromatic terpenes were long gone of course. When I found it I had just picked up a rosin press and figured what better material to do my first test pressing with. I made some kief off the super dry old flower. I then put the kief in 45u bag and pressed it for rosin. Once the rosin cooled it was shatter consistency, still THCa, when normally I would expect old trichomes to make perma goo, THC. I hit up my extracts buddy Twitch, he is to extracts as I am to growing, and he said that the lack of moisture during that 9 months is what kept the THCa from breaking down into THC with all the heat present. Of course sitting all that time had allowed the terpenes to evaporate but the THCa remained acetate. So I learned something that day lol.

He also disappeared.
If such people don't get the credits and applause they hope for, they often vanish.
You can see that happen on many forums.
Well the fact that he said he had knowledge to drop probably prompted his quick disappearance as he likely lacked said knowledge entirely. Honestly, not the sort the community needs. I may not know everything and sometimes I am in error but I do share my knowledge and am not stingy with it. I also try to avoid being a dick about it lol.

I don't think he posted any pictures either, of course someone could always post pictures they found on some other forum lol.

Everything looks good so far. On the 9th I lollipopped the fuck out of the inner/lower stuff that wasn't going to get any light. It was a lot of work, packed four 10 gallon buckets with branches.
Couldn’t tell from the pic did you ever decide to string those red LEDs in the canopy like a Christmas tree? Sorry if it’s in here I haven’t looked in a while

He will come back and either apologize or use and different name once he realizes how good this thread is. I've been growing for 40yrs, now 54 and i continue to learn. This thread is golden in my opinion.

As for having the bud dried to a state where you just need to touch the small leaves is real. I've done it for yrs. Especially when I had Afghani #1 cut. That shit was awesome but a hassle to trim.

On another subject. I've been strain hunting and found this website.

Looks like some nice strains.

I did that in the last round, by the time the plants were into flowering you couldn't see the LED's, they were lost down in the mass of plant lol. Did they help? Maybe a little but they also made for some chlorosis when they would lay against a nugget. I wouldn't recommend using them in that manner.
Im actually thinking of using side lighting in between my aisles.

I really like this hanging bulb idea inbetween 2 aisles. But it would be nice if it was an LED option just to keep electricity costs low.

What do you guys recommend?
A HID works better for this application since it takes up little space and pumps intense light in all directions. An LED in the middle of an aisle would need to be double sided and it would take up a lot more area. In my application a LED for side lighting would be best used on the end of a row where it's only facing one direction and walking space doesn't matter so much.
